    Imperial Bolt Vs Metric Bolt

    Uploaded by

    Andrian Firmansyah
    This document compares the diameter sizes of imperial and metric bolts and discusses the effects of mixing imperial and metric bolts and holes. It finds that: 1) The diameter sizes of metric bolts sometimes differ from their imperial equivalents, with the metric bolt typically being either slightly larger or smaller. 2) Using an imperial bolt in a metric hole may result in the bolt being either too loose or too tight of a fit depending on the diameter sizes involved. 3) Mixing imperial and metric bolts and holes is generally not recommended without ensuring the bolt hole diameters meet standard tolerance requirements for a proper fit.
